Why do I do this to myself ? Tuesday night I decided that rather than have the usual pre-holiday rush I’d just take my work ThinkPad with me (I always carry the MacBook Air for e-mail, blogging etc.). Of course it’s 2AM and I’ve just been catching up on work (due to being woken up […]
So arrived at Dubai. Realised I was in the wrong immigration queue- due to the fact I was the only British person ! I guess it’s one really good thing about being British is that you don’t need visa’s for most places. Hotel is superb. So far superb service from people (own butler). Clientele seems […]
My prediction was totally correct – 3hr delay on the flight. Strange arriving at the hotel to be greeted with ‘morning’ (as opposed to evening)…
Blogging in-flight (but not in-air)Thanks to British Airways, ‘The Worlds Favourite Airline’ but sadly ‘Not the Worlds Most Punctual Airline’ this post comes from in-seat whilst my BA flight to Dubai is stuck at gate A18 of Terminal 5. Yes no surprise, like every BA flight I have been on in my life, it’s delayed […]
Flying out to Dubai on holiday Wednesday. Of course I’ve been in the office since 7AM this morning and at my desk at home still (10PM). I loathe summer holidays as there is always a deadline that needs to be hit before I go. I recall when I worked in Engineering I’d have to stay […]
Rest assured I was already watching the keynote briefs. O2 tell me that the new iPhone will be available 19 June. I get back to the UK 20 June – guess where I’ll be visiting first ? I’m glad Apple have finally realised that 32GB is a sensible capacity (been messing around with playlists for […]
Stuck in the Virgin Lounge at San Francisco Airport. Flight is 4hrs delayed. Actually, I can’t moan too much as I think this is the first delay I’ve had on this leg (which I have on average done every 6 weeks for the past few years). I’m sitting near the bar looking at the selection […]
Well, not quite, but it’s my last night here in San Jose. Overall, it’s been a good trip. Managed to get lots of stuff cleared up. As well as have some drinks/dinners in the evenings with people (always a good thing). The downside has been jetlag. Normally it isn’t a problem, but this week has […]
Day 2 of the San Jose trip. Hotel HasslesWhen I checked in yesterday, I got to the room and did the usual check everything worked etc. At the time I thought there was a fairly loud noise of aircon from outside (one of the big vents). However, decided to keep the current room. After dinner […]
Sitting in the Virgin Lounge at Heathrow waiting to board the flight to San Francisco. I woke up early this morning (car booked at 7:30 to take me to LHR). What a really nice morning – although I was a little unhappy to have to head off (though San Jose I’m sure will be nice […]
